Topic: Elves and ears (Read 2408 times)

Is there a good way to explain to men why elves ears are leaf shaped or otherwise pointed? When out, I keep getting asked that. I usually reply to "Why are your ears pointy" with "Why are yours round?" As a dark elf, I am tempted to state that pointed ears are a sign of education and class, but I don't want to antagonize.

Another thing that befuddles me are people who ask, "what type of Vulcan/Romulan are you?" There are obvious differences between an elf and a Star Trek race, even though both share pointed ears. Even factoring out garb, the hairstyles are completely different.
